The greatest son: Zane strikes back Who's your husband?
After a Forty minutes drive, Zane and Mr. Alfred walked into Oliver's garden, and the entire area was empty of customers because Mr. Alfred book it for an hour.In the far corner of the restaurant was Mr. Adams, drinking a glass of cold water, and just as he was about to swallow it, he paused, his jaws puffy as he watched Mr. Alfred and Zane approach him.‘Someone who is like a son to me...’ The words from his earlier conversation with Mr. Alfred rang in his head and Mr. Adam forced the water down but choked on it, and he started coughing violently. As soon as he could breathe normally again, he stood up when the two approached him, extending his hand, shaking Mr. Alfred’s hand firmly as he said, “You know him... Mr. Briggs’ bast- son?!!”“Yes,” Mr. Alfred said, his grip tightening around Mr. Adams's hand at the fact that he almost called Ethan a bastard.When the two finally broke the handshake, Mr. Adams cried in his head, ‘Why do these two know each other...’Then he smiled at Zan

When Zane stepped on the brake of his car, he gazed out the open window at Mr. Alfred's mansion, relieved and nervous at the same time that after twenty-four hours of waiting, the wait was finally over.Sighing, he pushed the door open and stepped out, feeling an uneasy tension as he began to walk towards the front entrance.A look of fear crossed his face as he stopped and rang the bell, worried that what he already knew was going to be the truth. Finally, a lady answered the door, recognizing Zane immediately, she smiled and said, “Come in, sir, please.”As she led the way, Zane was on her heels, walking down a hall where they soon came to the living room, and then she paused, bowing slightly in respect before walking off.The moment Zane locked eyes with James, Mr. Alfred's expression shifted into worry, knowing what this meant for him, and he kept his silence, watching Zane walk over to the leather brown couch, and flop onto it.Then Zane's gaze softened when his sight rested on

Even though the employees didn't know what was going on between the father and son, they all now seem way more invested to hear Mr. Briggs's response.“How dare you say something so outrageous. Your mother took you out of the country when you were little, and Damion didn't hear from her and you again or meet you guys until you suddenly resurface back in his life to disrupt our family.” Deborah spat out angrily.Those words messed up Zane badly because he knew that that was a cover-up. A complete bullcrap that was far from the truth of his childhood, and in that moment, he realized that his guest was right... His mother was killed. But the only question that haunted his mind now was, why?“Why? What was her crime?! How could you?!” Zane screamed in Damion's face, the veins on his neck bulging.“Son,” Mr. Briggs said, looking at Zane with this worried look in his eyes. “You need help-”Immediately, Zanes first collided with Damion’s nose and the impact was brutal for Damion as he took a

Staring at her colleague at the table, the lady said, “The most recent news that is taking the country like wildfire, Zane Briggs-” Immediately cutting into the conversation, the fellow added, “Jessie, well, he now goes by Zane Grimes-”A stiff smile crossed her lips as she continued, “Right. Anyways, he has recently established a company called, ‘Golden Key Co.’, and today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony and-”Immediately, Mr. Taylor turned off the TV, frowning at the blank screen, and then he looked over to his wife when Madam Taylor said, “Are we accepting the invitation Zane and Emma sent us... Are we going to this so-called ribbon-cutting ceremony?”“I can't believe Emma kept it from us for an entire month that her husband was establishing a company in the same field as Father,” Elizabeth mumbled with so much sadness in her voice, even though she was excited inside because her father-in-law had been enraged at Emma since he got the invitation yesterday. Snorting at the thought o
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Where's your invite?
Standing in front of the mirror, Zane placed his tie around his neck, his eyes traced over every inch of his reflection, feeling a little too anxious about tonight's ceremony.“Let me do it,” Emma's soft voice filled the silence of their bedroom.Slowly, Zane turned to see her standing there, looking absolutely breathtaking in a silver gown. The dress clung tightly to her body and accentuated her long, wavy hair, and she looked ethereal. Her eyes met Zane's as she reached for the tie.A smile never left her lips as Emma slowly began to tie Zane's collar around his neck as she whispered, “You look dashing.”When her cheeks turned pink at her comment, Zane leaned down and captured her lips slowly, in a kiss, savoring the moment, before pulling away. Then Zane grabbed her hand, and twirled her around, making Emma giggle and then he pulled her to his chest, holding her by the waist, and whispered, “And you, my love, knock the air right out of my lungs with just one look at you.”“I do

After a couple of minutes of standing there, in the midst of their clients, reporters, the Taylors, and security details, Mr. Briggs and the rest of his family could feel the weight of embarrassment crushing their chests. And when they didn't provide their invites after a while, the reporters and the photographers weren’t giving them a second to breathe as their cameras' lights continued to flash nonstop.“Don’t you have an invite, Mr. Briggs?” Mark asked, knowing fully well that they didn’t.The mumblings of everyone in the surroundings only increased in volume due to Mark’s question, and all of the Briggs knew very well that they weren’t getting any good press out of this incident anytime soon.Yet, Deborah tried to savage the moment by saying, “We do have invitations. But we were in so much of a hurry to get here that we left it home.” What she thought would savage the moment only made it worse and the whispers around them only grew louder.“It doesn’t make sense that they would

It took a minute for Sophia’s words to settle in the minds of the reporters and everyone else, and soon questions were being thrown at her.One of the journalists shouted, “Miss Briggs what does your remark mean? Are you accusing Zane of cheating on the young granddaughters of Taylor’s family?”“Yes!” Sophia said firmly, looking bold and confident that she could get away with her wild accusation.“What is your source, Miss Sophia? Or are you saying these things because you are salty about getting kicked out of an event you weren't invited to in the first place?” James shot back at her.The guests immediately gave in to James' words and the whispers quickly began again, among them.“Those words make sense. After all, she and her family lied about having a ticket to the ceremony, only for it to turn out that they don't. If they can lie about that, what can they not lie about?” Someone mumbled, but their voice was loud enough for the Briggs to hear.Knowing that their image was already ru
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Way too far gone
Looking down at Emma as she gave him a worried glance, Zane gave her a small smile, leaned in closer to her ears and said, “They are side with Damion.”A look of shock swept across her face as her brows snapped together in disbelief, and she asked softly, “Are you sure?”“Watch,” Zane calmly uttered before facing his front, and for a moment, Emma didn’t take her eyes off of him, only to catch sight of the smug smile on his face before she focused on the guests.“Who’s coming with me?” Mr. Briggs asked, seeing a bit of indecisiveness in their expression. “Take the risk with a newly established business, or get a ninety percent bonus from the one who you have been working with for years and are sure of the kind of result you are going to get.” It took a moment, but soon it was clear the guests had chosen Mr. Briggs' side because they slowly started leaving the premises, getting into their cars, and a look of relief crossed Deborah's face as she thought, staring at her husband, ‘Thankf

The greatest son: Zane strikes back Epilogue
~~~~~*Two years later*~~~~~The sun casts a warm glow through the large windows of Zane's office, creating a serene and inviting ambiance. For a while, Yoko sat nervously on the plush leather couch, his fingers fidgeting with the delicate box hidden in his pocket. Then he stole a glance at Zane, who was engrossed in a stack of paperwork on his desk. Summoning his courage, Yoko cleared his throat, capturing Zane's attention. Zane looked up, his eyes filled with curiosity. Yoko could feel his heartbeat quicken as he slowly withdrew the box from his pocket, holding it delicately in his trembling hands. His palms were clammy.As the pen dropped from his grip, Zane's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he observed Yoko's gesture. Then he teased, leaning back in his chair, his words dripped with playful sarcasm, the glint in his eyes betraying his amusement, "Well, well, Yoko... I knew you were a charmer, but I already have a stunning wife." Chuckling, Yoko narrowed his eyes, and he
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Does that make sense
A sense of shock washed over Zane like an icy wave as he stood frozen, unable to comprehend the scene unfolding before him. His eyes widened, fixed on the figure of Jason, whom he had believed to be dead. The turmoil within him intensified as Jason and Deborah stopped just a couple of feet away.Then Jason's eyes bore into Zane's soul, a mix of anger, anguish, and madness swirling within them. Without warning, he tossed a gun towards Zane, the metallic object spinning through the air before landing with a thud at Zane's feet. "Take it!" Jason spat. "It's yours, Zane! Your thirst for revenge has ruined all our lives! So go ahead, pick up the gun, and satisfy your anger! End her!"Looking away from the gun and at his uncle, Zane's mind raced, his heart pounding in his chest. Confusion clouded his thoughts, and he found himself unable to form a coherent response, and he just stared blankly at Jason.Frustration and desperation radiated from Jason, his face contorted with rage. "Kill th

After shutting the door, Zane's footsteps echoed through the grand hallway of the mansion. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions, thoughts crashing into each other with relentless force. All he could focus on was the heaviness in his chest, the weight of the day's events bearing down upon him.As he made his way further into the mansion, Zane's eyes darted around, avoiding the gazes of the staff who lined the corridors, silently going about their duties. Both Emma and Damon were sitting in the living room, and when she saw Zane, walking through the doorway, she woke from her seat and rushed to him.His grip tightened around her waist as he pressed a kiss to her lips, letting it linger there for several seconds before pulling back slightly. "Are you okay?" Emma asked, concerned.With a forced smile, he nodded and said, "Yes. I'm fine." The way Zane refused to meet her eyes caught Damon's attention, and he watched his son carefully, trying to figure out what was going on in his boy's

The sun crept over the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow through the curtains of the small bedroom, and Emma stirred in her sleep, her eyelashes fluttering as she slowly awoke. Rolling onto her side, she found Zane lying next to her. His eyes were open, but they were distant, lost in thoughts that refused to let him be."Zane," she whispered, her voice still heavy with sleep. She reached out and brushed her fingers across his cheek, gently coaxing him to turn his gaze toward her.With a weak smile, he turned to face her, his eyes filled with shadows, and she traced the lines on Zane's face with her fingers, trying to read his emotions. "You are hurting because of his death, aren't you?" she asked softly.Shutting his eyes, Zane let out a deep sigh, his chest rising and falling with the weight of his emotions. "I don't know, Emma," he replied, his voice barely a whisper. "Leon and I were never close, never got along. But now, knowing he's gone, there's this void that I can't exp
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Who blood is this?
With a look of madness in her eyes, satisfied that she had gotten her wish and murdered Zane, Deborah suddenly turned the gun on both men.Before they could react, she fired several shots, and they died as the bullets pierced their chests, each of them falling lifeless to the ground.Looking up at Zane, lying motionless, Deborah chuckled to herself, and then she quickly walked over to him."I hope you and your mother rot in hell." She whispered, reaching for the bag and yanked it off his head.Immediately, her hand started trembling as tears welled up in her eyes, and she picked him off the ground, resting his head on her lap, and whispered, "My beautiful baby boy...!! My child! Leon, please open your eyes! Leon, Mommy is sorry, open your eyes, please. I beg you ..." Her voice cracked as tears rolled down her cheeks."No! no, no, no!... No, Leon! Please! I need you! I love you! Wake up! Open your eyes!" She screamed hysterically, hugging Leon tight as tears streamed down her cheeks u

The hospital room was filled with silent tension as Belinda and Emma cautiously entered. Their eyes immediately fell upon Zane, who was sitting by the bed, his head resting on the mattress. Yoko, who had been keeping a watchful eye on him, glanced up at the sound of their arrival. Placing his hand to his lip, he whispered, "Shh-shh... Since we got to the hospital yesterday, he just fell asleep." But just as the words left Yoko's lips, Zane's eyes fluttered open, and he sat up, his gaze fixated on the two ladies standing before him. There was a mixture of relief and weariness in his eyes, and a faint smile crossed his lips. Unable to contain her emotions, Emma stepped forward and enveloped Zane in a tight hug, her arms wrapped around his neck. Her voice, barely a whisper, trembled with concern, "How are you hanging in?" As his weary gaze met Emma's, Zane managed a small smile. "I am just glad that this idiot is fine," he replied, his voice laced with a touch of humor, but his e

At the count of eight, the tension in the atmosphere reached its peak. Each second seemed to stretch out endlessly, as Leon sat behind the wheel, his finger itching to pull the trigger. "9!" Zane shouted, raising his hand to signal his men. "And..."But as the count reached "10!" Leon's pent-up rage exploded. In a split second, he burst out of the car, his hand gripping the gun tightly. He aimed directly at Zane's head, his eyes wild with a murderous intent.Time seemed to slow down as Yoko reacted instinctively. He leaped in front of Zane, covering his boss with his own body. The bullet tore through the air, finding its way into Yoko's arm, tearing to his skin and blood oozed out.Pain seared through Yoko's body, but he barely registered it. His sole focus was protecting Zane, even at the cost of his own life. He gritted his teeth, feeling the impact of the bullet as he absorbed the blow.In that instant, the atmosphere erupted with chaos. The crack of the gun reverberated through t
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Even if I die
In the midst of the tense silence, Zane sat at the head of a long mahogany table, his gaze steady as he surveyed the board members of NewEra as everyone waited for him to speak.Taking a deep breath, Zane began, his voice strong and his eyes bored into them one after the other, "Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you today to address the mistakes of my past and to offer my unwavering dedication to the revival of NewEra. I know that I have gone against this company countless times, but from this day forward, I promise to use my knowledge and skills to help rebuild what was once the lifeblood of this organization."His words hung in the silence, and Zane's gaze swept across the room, meeting the eyes of each board member, their expression still that of fear."I owe this to my late mother," Zane continued. "Her life was taken so this place can get built, and it is my duty, as her son, to honor her legacy and ensure that NewEra rises from the ashes."A hushed silence filled the room as
